My old man has a bunch of .dox stuff saved. He has complicated large files saved that are not supported by any of the FOSS conversion tools. I’ve tried Libre office, Abi Word, and every command line tool and converter I can find. These are entire book sized files.
I have a W10 machine with Word. Is extracting the .exe and running it with wine feasible without making an epic mess or massive project of this?
It’s recent stuff. He likes a Fedora machine, but the only issue is the inability to replicate his Word docs. At this point I don’t know if Libre tools will be easy enough for him. There us nothing really intelligent happening in these files. He is not capable of handling any kind of real world complexity. So everything is going to be whatever was made super simple and easy in m$ Word.
I went through my old CD collection, but don’t have disks beyond Office for XP.
That sucks.
